Product Description

Review

"There is plenty of information on each spot and also plenty of good colour photos throughout. The surfers tales give a good insight into the atmosphere of local surfers and a board guide shows what the guys that know their waves are riding. All in all a very useful guide laid out really well." Wavelength "NEW and in our opinion the best guide to surfing yet produced" A1 Surfshop "The ultimate travel companion - exploring not only the waves of Europe but also its diverse culture, because surf and travel are inextricably linked." Sam Lamiroy, top European pro surfer and all-round good Geordie bloke!"

Wavelength Issue 144 May 2005

It's a really good book that will be indispensable for every surfer.

5.0 out of 5 stars best of british..., 25 April 2005

By	"jr788" - See all my reviews

This is by far the best British surf guide out there. The info is easy to use, comprehensive and obviously well researched. It is packed with great photos and usable maps. I already had a copy of Surfing Europe so I was pleased to see that the info hadn't just been re-hashed - it's rewritten and includes new areas like south devon, south coast, east anglia, north wales and loads more on scotland. Basicallly, if you live in Britain and surf, you need this book - it will save you alot of time and money and mean you catch alot more waves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of British! , 23 Aug 2007

By	Alice "Alice" (Aberdeen) - See all my reviews

A great read and the perfect guide for the professional or amatuer. If your planning a road trip or just fancy a change from your local break then I can highly recommend this guide. We spent two weeks travelling GB and found loads of spots we'd never heard of. It's also nice to support a fellow female surfer. Have also bought the european guide which we plan to use this autumn, will let you know how we get on!

3.0 out of 5 stars below average guide book, 22 Aug 2007

By	Rheem "meehrcat" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews

Although the book offers a bit of an overview of the main British Surfing beaches, there are more gaps than you'd expect to find. As apparently one of the only options out there, I'd recommend just getting sticking to getting the info you need/want off the Internet. There are no listings of surf hire shops/ surf shops nor pointers to places where you might find tide times. It lacks explanation of some of the more basic surfing facts that beginners (like me) often buy books for - like what the different types of break mean. It's got lots of pretty pictures and maps but beyond that, it really is rather a lot of money for a wad of paper. If you're expecting a book that kind-of brings a lonely planet style perspective to British Surfing, this isn't it. When you find one, let me know.
